This also works in Netscape, we do it with NS 4.7x all the time. I think you can transfer more styles(CSS) via IE over NS. If you do it, one thing we have run into is when you include your style sheets via a <link> tag, for whatever reason NS 4.7x on Win2k will first post a error msg to the style link. Our fix was just to put those styles on the page via a <cfinclude>
